I almost gave up !

This project almost beat me.

I have a hobby of reproducing coins.

This coin almost beat me --

Many attempts and failures.

I thought this was gonna work --

Nope didn't work --

I tried a few different things

none worked

I almost gave up -

Then I tried a new method !

A rubber mold !

Took some practice

But I eventually came up with favorable results --

This is what I came up with and I think I can improve on it !

( the casting is OK now it's the painting )

Yep this was a very frustrating project,

But I didn't give up !

I felt like it a few times.

But I stuck to my guns !

Lesson learned, try new things, and learn from your mistakes !
